Frank Arciero, who employed some of the biggest names in U.S. motorsports, died on Wednesday night.

Arciero got involved in the sport in 1943 and fielded teams in several series, including CART and the Champ Car World series, through the early part of the 2000s. His drivers won a pair of rookie-of-the-year honors in the Indianapolis 500—Randy Lanier in 1986, Fabrizio Barbazza in 1987—and Barbazza was CART's top rookie that year.
